Wendy, sometimes known as Wendy Bishop, is a fanon name given to a background Nandroid who once sat in front of Franny in Nandroid School. She does not make any other appearances in the comic save for that one panel.
However in her primary fanon work Wendy & Bishop, Wendy is purchased by divorcee Mark Bishop to assist with the care of his daughter Nora due to his increasing workload at the Newburgh Congress of Labor. She lives with them both in Mark's apartment. Over time she and Mark have grown closer together, but they are both still working to perfect their relationship.
Character summary
Personality
Wendy is a bubbly, talkative Nandroid whose positive attitude can lift the spirits of both Mark and Nora. Her fascination with architecture[1] gifts her with an appreciation for the buildings in Beacon City such as the town hall, Nora's school, and a mall.
Her favorite musician is Nat King Cole, with "Day In Day Out" being her favorite song of his.
Relationships
Mark stuff to be added
Wendy and Nora have a very strong bond. Nora often refers to Wendy as "mom" despite still being in regular contact with her real mother, and has given Wendy presents on Mother's Day. Nora also likes to tease Mark and Wendy about their relationship.
While riding the Beacon City monorail, Wendy once met a talkative Nandroid from a much busier and more chaotic household than her own. This Nandroid subsequently acquired the Bishops' phone number, and often calls Wendy to chat about her problems. The two get lopsided enjoyment from their conversations, with Wendy appearing to have less attachment to her acquaintance than vice versa. Wendy never caught her name, and hesitates to ask it out of fear of appearing rude.
While visiting a Sterling Robotics service center, Wendy briefly ran into an orange-haired Nandroid she vaguely remembered from Nandroid School. Unable to recall her name, Wendy failed to respond to her greeting, earning a frowned look from her.
Biography
Early life
Wendy attended Nandroid School alongside Emmy and other Nandroids.[3]
Meeting the Bishops
In fanon, after her graduation, Wendy was delivered to Mark Bishop, an overworked divorcee in need of assistance with taking care of his pre-teen daughter Nora. After presenting Wendy to Nora as a Christmas gift, Mark took Wendy along as he drove to drop Nora off at her mother's, and subsequently showed Wendy around Beacon City.
Despite his disparaging outlook on robots, Mark quickly got accustomed to his new purchase, finding himself thinking of Wendy as a person. However, they both soon received poor and even hostile reactions from his peers due to his position as leader of the Newburgh Congress of Labor, a union advocating for the protection and employment of human workers.
Life with the Bishops
As she continues to serve Mark and Nora, Wendy finds herself growing closer to the two. However on multiple occasions she is thrust into dishonest situations borne of Mark's desperation to recreate the better parts of his past. The first prominent one occurs when Mark offers his ex-wife's wardrobe to her to wear. Initially reluctant due to the odd nature of the request, Wendy comes to believe that Mark is elevating her to more prominent member of his family than just a maid. However he reveals his real intentions when he asks her to part her hair a certain way, completing the look of his ex-wife Eileen. Wendy, not realizing his intentions, doesn't understand why he then becomes distraught by this and tries to comfort him a best she can.
